Apparently people do get busted!  Here's an item from the Real Beer News:

DUFF BEER SCAM ON EBAY
An Australian woman has pleaded guilty to selling three nonexistent cases of Duff brand beer on eBay, the Internet auction site. Tara Edith Woodford, 28, pleaded guilty to three charges of dishonestly gaining money by false pretenses. Prosecutor Gavin Burnett told the court Woodford was paid a total of $1,511 (U.S.) by three separate buyers after advertising the bogus beer on eBay. Duff is the beer brand of choice for Homer Simpson and his friend  in the animated television series "The Simpsons."

Latest identity for ebay scammer is alexapam. Ebay may remove the 475 scam items, though, before you get a chance to read this. Leblanc 340 and 342 included at starting prices of £1.99; location "Aberdeen, US".

Now going under the name alexapam, our little buddy evidentally hasn't been caught yet. Check his listings quickly, because even if eBay can't figure him out, we sure have!

Cheers!
